Abstract: Two studies presented at International Homoeopathic Congress
2005, LIGA at Berlin
29
• Government of Delhi has adopted a policy of cafeteria approach in primary health care units.
• The homeopathic clinics have been established in allopathic primary health care units.
• The patients have the option of availing treatment of their own choice.
30
• Aims and Objectives • To compare the expenditure incurred by
government towards running of allopathic and homeopathic clinics.
• To analyze the morbidity profile of patients coming to homeopathic clinics in comparison to allopathic clinics working under one roof.
31
Title – To assess the cost effectiveness of homeopathic clinic in Cafeteria approach
• The revenue expenditure incurred on both types of clinics during 1999-2000 have been taken from government records. The capital expenditure on the maintenance of these clinics have been excluded.
• The morbidity data has been complied using the disease classification system ICD- 9 of World Health Organization.

• The expenditure in homeopathic clinics was one-fifth of the expenditure in allopathic clinics both in terms of salary as well as medicines. The reason for greater expenditure on salary indicates that the allopathic clinics require more supportive staff than homeopathic clinics.
